Through the Sketchbook

What has the sketchbook been in the past and what can it be today? Together this website demonstrates how sketchbooks cross disciplines, skills, cultures, gender, and class etc., to gain a better understanding.

The sketchbooks appear here not necessarily for the 'name' of the artist, but for the different thinking and seeing through the sketchbook.

Changes in thought and seeing over time, and over the years. As seen here, A.Y. Jackson’s later winter sketch in Canada, 1928, and from earlier sketchbook (academic) studies while in Europe, 1909.

 

 

Best known in Canada as a member of the modernist Group of 7 painters, 1917-1931, Jackson studied art in Chicago and Paris before the first world war.
